Hello all,

I have an odd question.. I used to snore, quite alot, and quite loud before the surgery.. Well, now my husband is amazed.. I no longer snore.. My husband said that since the surgery i have slept very peaceful and quiet.. I know before surgery they asked if i had sleep apnea. I said "no", my husband felt "yes.".. So the doctors said that they would watch and see how losing some weight helps.. But what surprises me is the fact that it stopped - right after surgery.. Anybody else have this wonderful thing happen to them..

I'm not sure when you had surgery, Becky, but if you have lost weight, that can certainly help snoring and sleep apnea.

Hold on I'll ask my dog...oh wait...he has no clue!

I know alot of people snore because they are overweight so it is no suprise to me your not snoring any more with some weight loss.

How cool huh?

Thank you for the reply.. I had only lost about 25lbs.. Maybe that was enough to do it.. I'm just glad I don't wake the neighborhood anymore-and the dogs...!! LOL!! thanks

I used to snore all the time too. After I read your post, I went and asked my husband if I've been snoring and he said he doesn't recall hearing me snore since I had the surgery either, and if I do, I haven't woken him up like I used to. I lost 16 pounds before surgery, but was still snoring. Surgery was almost 3 weeks ago and have lost another 18, so that must've done it!

Funny! I stopped snoring too the day I came home from hospital. My husband was amazed, and so was I because it made no sense since I hadn't lost any weight at that point, so I dismissed the whole thing. My snoring was a bit of an issue because when we first got married neither of us snored, then I got pregnant and it got loud! and now I'm cured!

Wow, this BANDING is a miracle aid!!! We can all sleep better.. and so can our husbands, wives, partners.. YAHOO!!!!

I asked my cardiologist why the pulmonologist was insisting that I had sleep apnea and that I needed testing, when I knew I didn't. He said, "Well, if you DON'T have sleep apnea you'll be the first woman with your BMI I've met who doesn't have it." My BMI at that time was in the high 40's.

I was tested. And had really bad sleep apnea. I needed a Bi-Pap machine (like a CPAP, but one setting for exhaling and one for inhaling), set at 18 and 14, on a scale of 1-20, 20 being worst. So you KNOW it was bad, but I was sure I didn't have it.

But snoring is just one symptom. And you know, if you can get used to the stupid machine, you awake rested like you haven't been in years. I think those of us who are obese should get tested, because the apnea is very tough on your heart.
